"Given the success we've had for the past four weeks — including winning the first week of the season in adults 18-49 — we've decided to continue to concentrate our promotional strength on our new NBC shows that are scheduled Monday through Wednesday and have therefore decided to hold Community and Whitney from their previously announced premieres of Oct. 19," NBC said in a statement, adding that it might use Community to replace any new shows that fail to meet expectations.

But at least three new shows — Revolution, Go On, and The New Normal — won't be up for consideration any time soon: They've just been given full season orders.
